Possible to disable left-click menu? (Yes)

#1 Post by whosebob »

I have installed Puppy Linux 1.0.8r1 for a friend, and I'm new to Puppy Linux myself.

My friend would like the "left-click menu" disabled so that when he accidentally clicks on the desktop, a menu doesn't pop up. How can I do that for him?

Also, I disabled "single click" actions for ROX and the desktop icons, but he needs the double-click sensitivity adjusted -- how can I do that?

Thanks.

Thank you. But ... I tried running a search first, and was unable to find an answer. Maybe I conducted my search poorly; in that case, I would appreciate it if you could provide a link to a post in which one or both of these questions was previously answered.

Thank you for your assistance.

open /root/.jwmrc in the texteditor.

It has such a line:

Code: Select all

 <RootMenu label="Start" labeled="false" height="0">
change it like this:

Code: Select all

 <RootMenu label="Start" labeled="false" height="0" onroot="true">
As .jwmrc is hidden, activate the "show hidden" -icon in the rox-filemanager.
Then you can rightclick it -> open as text.

Then restart X.

I find little on adjusting the mouse's double click rate also, though I'm sure I've seen a post for it in the past.

The [Start] button > Control Panel > JWM configuration gets the JWM_Display dialog box.
At the bottom is the Key, Mouse, etc. button which give the GTK xset dialog box.
The Mouse tab has: Acceleration & Threshold, Acceleration is mouse tracking speed, but Threshold I'm not sure about.
Give it a try & see what it does...
